My regret about TCAF 09 is having to pass by Erica Moen's table (the damned mob!) in order to keep with the crowd flow (DAMN the mob!). Still, found my way to a distant and stuffy corner of another room and met the creator of Octopus Pie. It's hard to choose favorites among such cute kids…

But on the plus side – this was Toronto before the garbage collectors went on strike.

Tonight the liquor stores likely went on strike all over the province. Oy…

OK, here's a fun fact: Julie Doucet has a comic named Dirty Plotte – you used "Hatch", and folks is hatching plots all the live long day/night – therefore you are subconsciously attuned to Hatch/Plotte word play!

And I have it on good authority that snatch is an empowering word to play with, too.

There's even _Richard Hatch_… he does it for some ladies (guys, too – not that there's anything wrong with that). He was in both original and revamped Battlestar Galactica-oh-my-lord-I'm-explaining-nerd-stuff… in a comments forum.
